aluminum or stainless steel? Is the pot stainless steel or aluminum?

Tri ply is a marketing term that usually means it is a core of aluminum sandwiched between a stainless interior and exterior. The benefit is the durability and neutral nature of stainless on the exterior/interior surfaces, with the heat performance of aluminum. "Full-body" refers to having the aluminum core in the sides as well, as opposed to most other pans that only have a try-ply base with no aluminum in the sides. The tri-ply base pans are the ones that look like they have a disc affixed to the bottom of the pan.

The interior is stainless..I have to say, I love this pot. It's my new go to pot for pasta and soup.

I'm not positive, but I think that you're right. I just dragged it out of the cupboard to look, lol. It appears to be aluminum with a stainless steel handle. It did not cause any discolouration to the pot that it sat in.

This pot is stainless. This is the main reason I purchased it. However I did not like the performance of this piece. It was hard to clean and the 2 halves would not seal. I did go to the Bialetti Aluminum pot. It works fine. I only tried the one stainless unit, so I don't know if another one would do the same.

I am sorry....I honestly do not know whether it is made out of stainless steel or aluminum. I can tell you though that I absolutely love this machine!!

It is aluminium with a nice non-stick coating. I think the vessel is a standard size and a stainless option is available somewhere on amazon.

There isn't any plastic except for the little knobby handle on the lid, and of course, the pot's handle. The only thing I see that MIGHT be aluminum is the little halfround well that the "pipe" sits in.

I am not certain - likely aluminum. It is light weight enough to manage easily. Non stick coating works very well - we've enjoyed this treat MANY times over. I am very happy with this pan.

Yes. It is stainless steel. The pot is too large for the small electric element on our stove and too small for the large heater. This thing was designed by a committee that had never been in a kitchen.

I was told it was aluminum, we don't put it in the dish washer....we wash it by hand. We love it and how it cooks.....

The pan is definitely made of aluminum. I still have the packaging that came around the pan because it has recipes on the inside of it. it says on the packaging made of aluminum for even cooking throughout. This pan has been awesome.

There's no aluminum in ours. The element is probably high carbon stainless, because a magnet will attract it but less so than the other parts such as the pan, the brackets on the heating element, etc. So it is all steel of some sort or another. (The parts that contact the food, that is.)

I don't know. It appears that the pot is made of mild steel. I would call the manufacture.

I don't have the pan in front of me, but the company website says aluminum. I'm not sure if there any any other materials in the base. The handle is stainless steel and rubber.

I believe it is aluminum but not sure. I have had no problems with mine and use it a lot.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

Hello Hazelnut, good evening. I would hazard a guess that it is probably stainless because the pot was probably contoured using a mold where the sheet of stainless was placed and a ram pushed it creating the pot. Making it out of 2 metals would be far more laborious and therefore costly and why my guess is that its all stainless.
